    <notes>Company email:
As per your request, please be advised that our Bacardi rums do not contain any animal-by products or ingredients. 

[Specifically regarding Bacardi Silver]:

Bacardi Silver malt beverages contain the finest ingredients, including malt, hops, select cereal grains, and yeast.  Similar to beer, these beverages are fully fermented and then aged; however they undergo special clarification to provide a clear product.  Unique flavors are then added to produce a light, crisp, refreshing malt beverage.

We don't use animal derived ingredients in any of our products, nor as lubricant in the process equipment for making the beverages or packaging material.  None of the individual ingredients contain any animal products, including the malt you mentioned in your e-mail.

One last question, just to make sure, does the clarification process involve isinglass? Yes I know I'm probably annoying, but I have to go through these type of things being a strict vegan.

It&#8217;s great to hear from you again.  And as I mentioned in the previous e-mail, we&#8217;re always happy to answer questions or take comments from friends.

To specifically address your question, the clarification process of Bacardi Silver malt beverages does not involve isinglass or any other animal byproducts.

Company Email:
"B&#233;n&#233;dictine is fully suitable for Vegans ; Nothing ,during all the process, is used coming from animal sources. " (To which we emailed about honey clarification)

Company Email:
"B&#233;n&#233;dictine contains honey but among vegans this is still very controversial ; in fact my response was based on Kosher regulations very strict in terms of animal derivatives ;
It is said that honey is not (unlike Gelee Royale ) , bees carry pollen exactly like birds carry seeds , and for birds botanicals often are a production coming from animal regurgitation !"

UPDATE from Barnivore Community:
"I own a liquor store, and about the Beam Global email thing;
 Cruzan makes cream rum with real dairy cream in it, the Dekuyper's many have dairy. Even on the back of the bottles like butter Shots says "dairy" and they use capric acid to in most of there liquors. So, thats dairy and animal's fat in Dekuypers.
 So Beam Global gave whoever emailed them, a fake as email that almost all comapies give out.
 I'll be happy to email you photos of the Cruzan Cream and Butter Shots if you need any more info. Thanks!"


Company Email:

"Thank you contacting Beam Global Spirits &amp; Wine.  We always like to hear from our consumers.
Our products are not made with any animal or fish products; however, it is filtered with diatomaceous earth which may contain microscopic animal skeletons, and carbon from coal which may also have been exposed to prehistoric animal parts.  By strict standards, our products should be avoided by Vegans, unless the above filtration materials are acceptable.
I hope this helps answer your question."</notes>

All the charcoal we use for filtration and fining is made from wood.

Note: this appears to be a response from the parent company covering all brands, but since gin doesn't have any of the issues above, it looks like it's safe.</notes>

Bourbon is really a very simple spirit, containing only a few ingredients.  Old Forester is crafted using corn, malted barley, and rye.  We mature our bourbon in new, charred white oak barrels which are bunged with white poplar.  Once our bourbon leaves the barrel, it spring water is added.  One fluid ounce of Old Forester has 70 calories, no carbohydrates and is gluten free since any gluten present in the grains is removed during distillation."</notes>

In reply to your email there are no animal products or by products used in the making of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum. We hope this information is
helpful. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Double check email:
In response to your Vegan inquiry, I can confirm that there are no 
animal flesh, animal gelatin, honey, dairy products, or eggs
in Captain Morgan products.

Another email!
We do not knowingly add any animal related ingredients to Captain  Morgan products though we cannot confirm if any of those were involved in the making process because we do not know what is in our raw ingredients.

    <notes>Update:
Our domestic products are not made with animal by-products; we do indeed use
an animal by-product in the filtration of our sake.
This product is used to help remove charcoal prior to filtration; and is not
part of the sake.
We will be testing persimmon juice in the near future here at our Folsom
facility.
Persimmon juice is the only settling agent used by our home office
facilities.
To be simply put, any of our sakes/wines from Japan, as well as our US-made
Draft sakes would be untouched by animal products.

"I did not see Godiva chocolate liqueurs on your list of alcoholic beverages. They are NOT vegan. I just spoke with Dave at Diageo, the company that actually manufactures their liqueurs. He said all the Godiva liqueurs contain dairy. The Original flavor used to be vegan but they changed the recipe about 3 months ago  (~Nov 2009) and now it's not.They have 5 flavors you can list as vegetarian only but not vegan: Original, White Chocolate, Mocha, Milk Chocolate and Caramel Milk Chocolate."

Update:
Company Email:
"The creation of Grey Goose vodka begins with 100% fine French wheat from the highly coveted Beauce region, the Bread Basket of France. This wheat &#8211; a most noble and pure grain source &#8211; adds the same richness and flavor to Grey Goose vodka that it brings to the finest French breads and pastries.

Spring water, originating in the Massif Central Mountains, the heart of France, flows into the Cognac Region.
It is naturally filtered through champagne limestone resulting in exceptionally sweet and pure water.

The pure grain spirit undergoes a five step distillation process.  With each step, the true essence and character of the vodka is revealed.

FERMENTATION

Once the wheat has been ground into a fine flour, it is mixed with water and enzymes, which convert the starch content into fermentable sugars (hydrolysis)

At this stage, using a yeast bespoke to Grey Goose, the fermentation process begins.  In order to obtain the same fermented wheat, we closely monitor the temperature of the fermentation throughout the whole process.

The temperature is maintained by circulating the product in a loop with cold water

DISTILLATION
Proprietary continuous 5-step distillation process

Focuses on maximizing and concentrating the flavor of the fine French wheat instead of stripping out impurities because we only use the very best natural ingredients

The temperature of each of the five columns is continually adjusted to enable reactions to be triggered at precise temperatures

The distillation is constantly monitored by measuring the temperature and pressure in the columns and the quality of the high proof spirit

PURE SPRING WATER
Pure spring water is taken straight from the ground and blended with the spirit

The water travels over 400km from the Massif Central to Cognac

No need for filtration - naturally filtered through the Grande Champagne limestone

Gives it a softness and natural touch of sweetness

BLENDING
Under the supervision of the ma&#238;tre de chai, the high proof spirit is blended with the pure spring water until it reaches the perfect strength and optimal taste

THE WORLDS BEST
Grey Goose uses the best at every stage of its production process from the quality of its ingredients to its bottling technology.  From the sourcing of the wheat to the moment a bottle of Grey Goose leaves its home in Cognac, a total of 500 quality control checks are carried out"</notes>

"We can confirm that all Irish Whiskey, including Jameson and Powers, is suitable for vegans.
No animal products of any description (including milk, eggs, honey, gelatin, isinglass etc) are used in the manufacture of Irish Whiskey."

Company Email:
Jameson does not use any isinglass or any animal by product in the production of Jameson Irish Whiskey.

Other company emails:
"Thank  you  for  taking  the time to e-mail us.  There is no animal product used in the distilling or filtering process of Jameson."

Email from Emily:
"I wrote Jameson at least a year ago and inquired about the use of gelatin, isinglass, or other animal products in the whiskey.  I received a personal email from an administrative employee who researched the matter.  She thoroughly explained that isinglass was indeed used for clarification of the liquid, and though it was filtered out completely with the impurities from the clarified whiskey, that yes, technically, that meant that it did not fit my definition of vegan.  She did state that that was the only animal-derived product in the process."

Another email:
"Thank you for taking the time to e-mail us. There are no animal products used in the production Jameson Whiskey."

Via Jim:
"None of the products mentioned in the request for information below are used in any form in the manufacture of Jameson."

In brief Jameson Irish Whiskey is produced as follows:
"Whole cereal grains are milled, water is added and with the addition of yeast(a traditional type of distilling yeast is used) fermentation occurs. Fermentation is the process whereby yeast converts the wort, which is a sugary solution extracted from the milled cereal grains, into an alcoholic wash( in effect a type of beer). The wash, which contains about 12% alcohol is then triple distilled to give a newly distilled spirit. After maturation of the spirit in oak cask for the minimum number of years this beverage can then be called Whiskey. The production of Jameson Irish Whiskey meets with the strict requirements of the IRISH WHISKEY ACT, 1980, the purpose of which is to define the production and labeling requirements of Irish whiskey and blended Irish whiskey and all other relevant legislation on the production of Irish Whiskey. None of these regulations allow the use of such products."

The latest update is from Irene:
"Thank you for taking the time to e-mail us. Jameson is vegan friendly. None of the items mentioned [dairy, egg, or honey, bone char] are used in the production of Jameson Irish whiskey."</notes>

Unfortunately on looking through my email's I appear to have deleted the original email, so can't tell you word for word what was said, but on asking whether it contained any animal ingredients I received a reply telling me that it did not contain any animal products. I believe the lady I got a response from had double checked with the people involved with the making of the drink.</notes>

As an added bonus, no animals were harmed indiscriminately by our products -- as organic farming prohibits chemical pesticides get rid of pests (organic farmers use insects, birds, mating disruption or traps instead)."

Update:
"Grapefruit Honey's the only one that wouldn't qualify. The rest have no animal products in them."

We use no animal products in any of our beers. We usually filter our beers but on those occasions that finning is essential, I have a finning agent available to me that contains no animal derivatives. If I were to make an Oatmeal Stout or a Milk Stout, I could wind up using some form of lactose sugar, however, no plans to brew anything like that anytime soon.</notes>

Bottle Matured Ports - Crusted, Traditional LBV, Single Quinta and Vintage are not fined and are therefore all suitable for Vegans.
Wood Ports and Douro DOC are not suitable for vegans.
Wood Ports are your Aged Tawny Ports, Reserve Port, Standard LBV, Standard Ports.
Let me know if you need further explanation. Also to be specific Dow's does not make a traditional LBV. Only Smith Woodhouse and Warre's make
these from our family of brands."</notes>
